::In comp.bin.mac, there is a cdev called "Nothing cdev".  What does it do?  The description is a bit sketchy.

Not really...  Nothing, when chosen, knocks out the right-hand side of the
Control Panel (where the buttons and stuff from normal CDEV's appear). Choosing
another CDEV returns the Control Panel to normal.  If you close the Control
Panel while Nothing is active, you have to first choose Nothing and _then_
another CDEV upon re-opening the CP to get the right-side back.
